There are some remedies that work wonders on illnesses, but for some reasons, the general public doesn’t know much about them. Maybe it’s because if they were exposed, people would stop relying so much on drugs from doctors and this would hugely affect the pharmaceutical business, which is one of the most lucrative businesses in the world.

A little known home remedy for toothache is hydrogen peroxide. It’s basically water with an extra oxygen molecule. Let’s explore how it works so that you can understand how much you can save yourself both the pain of toothaches and the money that you spend on dentists every year.

Water is a compound of 2 hydrogens and 1 oxygen (H2O). Hydrogen peroxide, on the other hand, is 2 hydrogens and 2 oxygens (H2O2). What do your cells need to thrive? They need oxygen. Actually, without it they would die. If you add an additional oxygen to your body, guess what happens? You boost cell function by double or more. This means that you’re able to resist disease better, that you can heal faster and you are generally healthier.

One of the best ways to use H2O2 is on your teeth as a home remedy for pulpitis. Get yourself some food grade H2O2 (it should cost you less than $2) from your local store and then dilute as instructed. After that, dab a piece if cotton wool in it and hold it on the hurting tooth. The pain will be gone in an instant.

For regular oral care, if you use H2O2, you will never have to buy a tube of fluoride toothpaste in your life again. All you need to do is to buy bicarbonate of soda and make a paste by adding drops of the H2O2. Once you do this, dip your toothbrush in and start to brush. It will foam and fizz, but that’s the mixture killing the germs. You will notice two things with this home remedy for toothache; (1) that you will have much fresher breath and (2) that your teeth don’t stain. In fact, if they have stains, the stains will start to fade off. Keep using this every day twice a day and toothaches and poor oral hygiene will be a thing of the past.

Once you see how successful it is with your toothaches and other oral issues you may have, you may want to explore how you can use it to keep yourself healthy. There is literature on the internet that will tell you exactly all the benefits of H2O2, other than just acting as a toothache relief aid.
